Tower and Birds Combination in Lenormand

In this order the Tower names the subject and the Birds color it. The theme the Tower sets is everything official and set apart: an institution, an agency, a court, a corporation, a formal procedure. The Birds add negotiations, calls, meetings, and worry, so the combination speaks of dealing with an authority, of business talks inside a structure, of coordination on an official matter. It can be a call to an agency, a conversation with an official, a discussion of a formal question. The tone of the pair is often restless, since institutional business rarely passes without some nerves. Beside heavy cards the Birds turn these talks into bureaucratic red tape and gossip; beside bright ones, into productive negotiations that lead to a result.

In relationships the Tower brings distance and formal boundaries, and the Birds add talk and worry. The combination describes exchanges on a cold, detached note, when a wall has already grown between partners and the communication circles around routine, obligations, or status rather than warm feeling. Sometimes it is talk about separate living, a discussion of the formal side of a union, conversations carrying anxiety over the distance. For a single person the pair can speak of polite but cool communication, of an acquaintance that goes no further than words. Beside heavy cards, gossip and outside talk appear around a relationship held together by distance.

Here the combination unfolds as business negotiations with a large structure. The Tower points to a solid organization, public service, or an agency, and the Birds fill the matter with communication: meetings, briefings, calls, correspondence, an interview. This is official negotiation, the coordination of a formal question, a conversation in an institution that decides the outcome. The card advises making direct contact and speaking out what was left unsaid, while not trusting every rumor among coworkers. In finances the pair speaks of money talks through official channels: discussing terms with a bank or an agency, agreeing on payments, the small bustle around properly documented sums. Much is settled through conversation rather than waiting.

Swap the cards and the lead becomes the theme of communication, while the official structure only qualifies its character. In the pair Birds and Tower the conversation, negotiation, or worry comes first, and the Tower says that it concerns their official, formal side, a coordination within an institution. There the emphasis falls on communication taking place in an institutional setting. Here, by contrast, the institution and the formal question lead, while the Birds only show that it is settled through talks and accompanied by unease.

Do not stay silent where a conversation can settle the matter; make direct contact with the authority and clear up what was left unsaid. Act through official channels calmly and on the merits, without extra emotion but also without the dead silence that only stores up tension. Do not wind yourself up with anxious thoughts or trust every rumor about an institutional affair; check the facts at the source rather than with those who spread the talk. That way you protect both your nerves and your clear thinking.
